It could be that I'm just flat out confused here...  So bear with me.

I've installed cvs-1.3 on an HP 9000/730 (8.05), and a Decstation 5000/240
(Ultrix 4.3).

I took and converted my GNU source tree to CVS.

I tagged (rtag actually) the  initial release of the source as 'BASELINE' 
(missed the part about BASE apparently).

Then I went and tagged the source with a few tags, ala' (Using diff-1.15
as an example)

cvs rtag -b TAG1 diff-1.15
cvs rtag -b TAG2 diff-1.15

Where TAG1 and TAG2 are 2 architecture dependent flags.

On the decstation, I can do a cvs checkout -r TAG1 diff-1.15
and it creates the dir, just like it's supposed to, and lets me  edit/update
, commit, etc.  just like it should.

So now I bop over to the HP, and I want to build diff-1.15 for it:

erchp2:/P#/Gnu-dev/src % cvs checkout -r $CVSTAG diff-1.15 
cvs checkout: Updating diff-1.15
erchp2:/P#/Gnu-dev/src % ls
diff-1.15/
erchp2:/P#/Gnu-dev/src % ls -R
diff-1.15/

./diff-1.15:
CVS/

./diff-1.15/CVS:
Entries      Repository   Tag


And no files... Argh.  I jump back over to the decstation, and do the
same command, and it works.


Any speculation?  byte-order problems?  Bizarro weirdness in the HPUX
supplied versions of ci/co?
